Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the general procedure, 5-bromo-m-xylene (136 μL, 1.0 mmol) was coupled with 4-aminobutanol (138 μL, 1.5 mmol). Purification of the crude product by column chromatography on silica gel using hexane/ethyl acetate (2:1) as eluent afforded the desired product as a colorless oil (174 mg, 90% yield). Rf=0.4 (hexane/ethyl acetate=1:1).
